The Important New Role Pharmacists Play in Providing Emergency Contraception: Matters of Weight, Effectiveness and Access

This program is designed specifically to train pharmacists, pharmacy students and pharmacy technicians to participate in a program that provides emergency contraception (EC) to patients in a pharmacy setting.

At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
Review the latest literature on the effectiveness of all emergency contraception options – including ulipristal acetate
Assess the effect of a patient’s weight / BMI on the effectiveness of emergency contraception and decisions to recommend/prescribe one product over another
Propose a new role that pharmacists can play in making OTC contraception financially accessible

In order to receive credit the participant must log into the webinar and participant the entire time. The participant will also be required to answer questions during the webinar. If the participant satisfied the requirements, WSPA will upload the CE to the CPE Monitor within 4-6 weeks after the webinar.

The Washington State Pharmacy Association is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.
